In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv28633/lib

Modified Files:
	liburllib.tex

Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies which
require authenication.  This is an implementation limitation rather than
required behavior, and may be fixed in the future.

This closes SourceForge bug #111725.
